Reviews SummaryIt’s true the 2023 Honda Accord doesn’t have all-wheel drive, a third-row seat, a big cargo area you can pack to the roof, or styling that suggests you live an adventurous lifestyle. If you want those things, spend thousands of dollars more for the Honda Pilot, which is less dynamic to drive and more expensive to own and operate. But, if you don’t need (or want) those things, consider the 11th generation 2023 Accord, which remains an excellent, if comparatively expensive, example of the traditional four-door family car. | |
Reviews SummaryWe can’t figure out why the Volkswagen Arteon isn’t more popular. Equipped with roomy seating for five people, available all-wheel drive, a large cargo area, and an upscale look and feel, it checks many of the same boxes as a crossover SUV, but with a greater sense of style and better driving dynamics. Plus, it’s a safe vehicle. What’s missing? A tall driving position, extra ground clearance, a third-row seat, and the cachet of a luxury brand. If those things don’t matter to you, get a VW Arteon while you still can. | |
